    One Hen not enough calcium?

    Thank you. I believe that may be my only shot. Feeding chickens separately can be a challenge but I will try.

    One Hen not enough calcium?

    Hello out there and happy spring! Hoping someone can lend advise on one of my new sapphire gems not being able to lay a solid egg. It’s pretty much every day now when I go to collect the eggs they are all covered in yoke because one had broke. Sometimes the shells are there, sometimes not. If...

    Hi Sacey, I do not know what the temp was. I presume she is puffed up because of the fever and she has stayed puffed since. I have been feeding her grower feed mash with Vitasol mixed in in case it was a vitamin deficiency with no results. She definately feels heavier than she was and about...

    Thanks eggcessive. No curled toes. I can post some pics after work. No new birds either. My other 4 hens look well and are not showing any symptoms. I would have to agree that she might have internal tumors because her tail is kept down and she looks like she is straining but poops just...

    New Layer didn't survive

    Thank you all. Barbara, I feel like brewing a pot of coffee, sitting my chickens in a circle and reading them your reply. You have settled my anxiety and given me reassurance to press forward and deal with all of the bad things that come with all of the good. If you don't mind I'd like to stay...

    New Layer didn't survive

    Good article on Marek's, thank you. So basically, unless all 6 of my other girls pass and I get an opportunity to eradicate my coop (which sounds impossible), I'm stuck with this thing forever. It's in the sand, run, the woods where my girls hang out, and it's there for possibly 5 years. I am...

    New Layer didn't survive

    I thought about freezing her so just before I burried her I called the only number I could find. Granted it's labor day but the gentlemen I got on the phone was clueless if they could perform a necropsy. I just decided to bury and keep a close eye on my other birds. I agree though, Marek's is my...

    Hey everyone, lonnnnnng time BYC stalker first time poster. Picked up 4 new chickens back in july to replace 3 that had been grabbed by a fox. The new ones were all approximately 12 weeks at the time so about 5 days ago I started to mix layer feed as the time seemed appropriate. One of the new...
